[Jonas Meurer]

Package: postorius
Version: 1.3.4-1

Hey Matt,

thanks for reporting the issue. I'll transform this into a proper Debian 
bugreport so that it doesn't get lost.

Yeah, we replace some Javascript libraries from the Mailman3 Postorius 
package that are already packaged in Debian to avoid code duplication.

Mh, might well be a problem with the JS library replacement I mentioned 
above. Would you mind doing the following on your Mailman3 system to see 
whether it fixes the bug:

* Fetch `jquery-1.11.3.min.js` from [1] and replace the symlink 
`/usr/share/python3-django-postorius/static/postorius/libs/jquery/jquery-1.11.3.min.js` 
with it.
* Fetch `bootstrap.min.js` from [2] and replace the symlink 
`/usr/share/python3-django-postorius/static/postorius/libs/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js` 
with it.
* Fetch `html5shiv.js` and `html5shiv.min.js` from [3] and [4] and 
replace the symlinks at 
`/usr/share/python3-django-postorius/static/postorius/libs/html5shiv/` 
with them.

[4] 
https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/raw/master/src/postorius/static/postorius/libs/html5shiv/html5shiv.min.js

Afterwards, you might (or might not) have to recreate the django cache 
(not sure), which can easily be done by reconfiguring `mailman3-web`:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure mailman3-web

That would be super helpful in order to find out whether our Debian 
versions of the JS libraries are the reason for your issue.

Thanks a lot for helping to debug the problem :)

Kind regards
